New Delhi: The entire country is celebrating the 124th birth anniversary of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, India's prominent freedom fighter and great revolutionary. The Government of India has decided to start the celebration of Republic Day on 23 January on the special occasion of the birthday of Subhas Chandra Bose.
Netaji's birthday is celebrated as Parakram Diwas. Subhas Chandra Bose was born in Cuttack, Orissa in an affluent Bengali family.
After passing the Intermediate examination in the first class in his childhood, Subhash Chandra Bose went to England to study the Indian Administrative Service. It was a great achievement for the Indians that they had secured the fourth position in this examination. However, he did not accept the slavery of the British.
Therefore, leaving the Indian Administrative Service midway, he came to India. Very few people would know that Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose first called Mahatma Gandhi as the Father of the Nation. Founded Azad Hind Fauj, Azad Hind Government and Bank and got the support of 10 countries in this regard.
He is an inspiration to every youth. He had given the slogan of patriotism in the blood of Indians, 'You give me blood, I will give you freedom'.
-- Remember, the greatest crime is to suffer injustice and compromise with the wrong.
--Freedom is not given, it is taken.
-- Life loses half its interest if there is no struggle-if there are no risks to be taken.
-- You will readily understand my mental condition as I stand on the threshold of what the man-in-the-street would call a promising career.
-- When we stand, the Azad Hind Fauj has to be like a wall of granite; when we march, the Azad Hind Fauj has to be like a steamroller.
-- For an enslaved people, there can be no greater pride, no higher honor, than to be the first soldier in the army of liberation.
-- Nationalism is inspired by the highest ideals of the human race, Satyam [the truth], Shivam [the God], Sundaram [the beautiful].
-- A true soldier needs both military and spiritual training.
-- It is blood alone that can pay the price of freedom. Give me blood and I will give you freedom.
-- One individual may die for ideas, but that idea will, after his death, incarnate itself in a thousand lives.
--No real change in history can be achieved by discussions.
